词类和句子成分
一、词类
能够自由运用的最小语言单位叫词。
根据词的形式、
意义 及其在句中的作用所作的分类叫词
类(
parts of speech
)。
英语的词通常分为十大类,即名词、冠词、代词、数词、形容词、副词、动词、介词、连词
和感 叹词。现分别叙述如下:

peace
和平
英语名词可分为两大类:
1
。普通名词
(common noun)
是某一类人、事物、某种物质或抽象概念的名称。例如:

名词又可分为可数名词
(countable noun)
与不可数名词
(uncountable noun)
两种。可数名词有< br>单、复数之分。绝大多数名词的复数形式的构成是在单数名词的后面加
-s

语态、
语气等动词形式,
以及用于否定和疑问等结
构中 。英语助动词主要有
shall, will, have, be, should, would, do
等。
实义动词还可根据是否需要宾语分为及物动词和不及物动词。
及物动词
(transitive verb)
后面要跟宾语,意义才完整。例如:

你一定要仔细考虑这件事。(
the matter
是及物动词

的宾语)
Have you received the letter
你受到了那封信吗(
the letter
是及物动词

过去式
过去分词
现在分词

having
动词过去式和过去分词的构成有规则和不规则两种。规则动词
(regular verb)< br>的过去式和过去
分词,
在原形动词后面加词尾
-ed
或
-d< br>构成。
不规则动词
(irregular verb)
的过去式和过去分词
的形式是不规则的,如
eat, ate, eaten
。这些动词数量虽不多,但都是比较常用的,必须熟
记。
现在分 词在动词原形后面加
-ing
构成。关于动词原形加
-ed
和
-in g
的方法和读音以及不规则
动词的变化,请参阅相关词典或语法书。
(八)介词
介词
(preposition)
又叫前置词,放在名 词、代词或相当于名词的词前面,表示它后面的词与
句子中其它成分之间的关系。
介词在句中一般不重读,也不能单独作句子成分。
介词根据其构成,
可分为简单介词,
如:

如果
)
;分词介
词,如:
regarding(
关于

介词后面的名词或代词叫做介词宾 语。介词和介词宾语合称为介词短语
(prepositional
phrase)
。
(九)连词
连词
(conj unction)
是连接词、短语、从句或句子的词。连词是虚词,在句中一般不重读,也
不能 在句中单独作句子成分。
根据连词本身的含义及其所连接的成分的性质,可分为并列连词和从属连词。
并列连 词是连接并列关系的词、短语、从句或句子的连词,例如:
and(
和
), or(
或者、否则
),
but(
但是
), for(
因为
), not only...but also(
不仅
...
而且

是表示喜怒哀乐等感情的词,例如:
oh, well, why, hello
等。
上述十大词类中,名词、代词、形容词、副词、动词、数 词等都有实义,故称为实词
(notioal
word)
;而介词、冠词、连词、感叹词等没有实义,故称为虚词
(form word)
。
不少词可以属于几个词类,
例如:
smoke(

后也会跟宾语。
可作宾语的有名词、
数词、
代词、
动名词等。< br>不定式也可作及物动词的宾语。
例如:

(五)定语
定语(< br>attribute

(七)宾语补足语和主语补足语
英语有些及物动词,除了要有宾语之外,还要加上宾语补足语(
object complem ent
),才能
使句子的意义完整。
宾语和宾语补足语一起构成复合宾语。
如 果上述结构变成被动语态,
原
宾语成为主语,原宾语补足语相应地变为主语补足语(
s ubject complement
)。可以担当补
足语的有名词、形容词、介词短语、动词 不定式、分词等。例如:

有些货物剩下未出售。(分词做主语补足语)
She was elected director of public relations.
她被选为公关部主任。(名词短语做主语补足语)
词类与句子成分既有区别又有联系。
词类是孤立的单词的分类;
而句子成分则指单词、
词组、
短语或从句在句中的作用。句子的各种成分总是由属于一定词类的单词
(或词组、
短语、从
句)
来担当的。
因此在词类和句子成分之间存在着某种对应关系。
现将这种对应关系列表如
下:
主语
宾语
表语
定语

动词中的实义动词和系动词可以担当谓语。
动词不定式、
分词和动名词形 式不能独立担当谓
语。
介词是虚词的一种,
不能独立担当句子成分,
但介词加 上其后的宾语所构成的介词短语,
可在句中担当多种成分。
第二节
基本句型
句子的主要成分是主语和谓语。
构成主语的有名词或相当于名词作 用的其他词、
词组或从句。
谓语的构成比较复杂,有时可以由谓语动词独立担当谓语,有时谓语 动词需带宾语或表语,
还有的谓语动词可带两个宾语或带宾语后再加补足语等。
谓语动词类别的 不同决定着谓语结
构的不同,而不同的谓语结构又决定着不同的句型。
所谓基本句型(
basic sentence pattern
)就是几种基本的谓 语结构的格局;千变万化的句型
都是由它们演变而来的。英语的基本句型有五种,即:
1

构词法
英语词的构成有一定的规律,
这种规律称为构词法。
掌握构词法知识对我们更好地理解词义 、
认识新词和扩大词汇量有重要意义。
构词法主要有三种:派生法、合成法和转换法。
一、派生法
在一 个词的词根(
root
)的前面或后面加上某个词缀来产生新词,这种构词法称为派生法
(
derivation
)。加在前面的词缀叫前缀(
prefix
),加 在后面的词缀叫后缀(
suffix
)。
(一)后缀:许多名词、形容词、副词和动词是由词根加后缀构成的。
1.
构成名词的常用后缀有:

三、转换法
在词行不变 的情况下,一个单词由一种词性转换成另一种词性,称为转换(

梦
look v.
看
→ n.
相貌
back n.
后背
→ v.
支持
air n
空气
→ v.
通风
better a.
较好
→ v.
改善
有些双音节的词转换后 ,
重音要发生变化。通常名词重音在前,动词重音在后,有时读音也
有不同。希望大家注意这一 点。
第四节
句子的用途分类
英语句子按其用途可分为陈述句、疑问句、祈使句和感叹句。现分述如下:
一、陈述句

)。 疑问句有四类:一般疑问句、特
殊疑问句、选择疑问句和反意疑问句。
1
。一般疑问句
用
Yes
或
No
来回答 的疑问句,叫做一般疑问句(
general question

然词序。 例如:
Do you find it difficult to learn a new language
你认为学一种新的语言很难吗
Can you guess who will disagree with this statement

( 谁),
whose
(谁的),
which
(哪个,哪些),
what

第二部分:考研英语基础语法
扎实的语法功底对于考研解题是很重要的。
据 总结,
最令大多数考研学生头疼的基础语法现
象主要有以下几项:英语的基本句式、形容词性( 定语)从句、名词性从句(主语从句,表
语从句,宾语从句和同位语从句)、副词性(状语)从句、As
的用法。下面将对以上语法
点详解,并通过练习进一步强化对它们的掌握。
一、英语的基本句式
(一)英语句子的主要成分
英语句子主要由 主语,谓语,宾语(直接宾语和间接宾语),定语,状语,补语(主语补语
和宾语补语),表语(主语补 语的一种),同位语,感叹语,插入语等构成。

)是一种表示谓语关系的 动词,作为系动词,它本身有词义,但不能单
独用作谓语,后边必须跟表语,构成系表结构说明主语的状 况、性质、特征等情况。系动词
可以是
be
动词,也可以是某些实义动词。

to do
形式;还有一些既可接
to do
形式又可接
doing
形式,没有什么区别;
但有些接

时,便应省略冠词。
例如:
比较

3
)现在分词或过去分词也可为宾语补足语:
例如:
I found the man stealing the money.
He can’t make himself understood.

二、英语的三大类从句
从句是相对于主句而言的,即它是 从属于某一个主句,而不能单独作一个句子。在英语中,
主要有三大类从句,
即形容词性从句< br>(定语从句)
、
名词性从句
(包括主语从句,
表语从句,
宾语 从句,同位语从句)、副词性从句(即状语从句
,
包括时间、地点、原因、目的、结果、
条件、让步、方式、比较等)。
(一)定语从句
说到定语从句,大家都 不感到陌生,它是考研题中经常见到的一类从句。例如
2006
年考研
真题的完形填空 题中:
Even when homeless individuals manage to find a shelter that will give them three meals a day
and a place to sleep at night, a good number still spend the bulk of each day wandering the
street.
下面我们来仔细剖析一下这类从句及其用法。
一)有关定语从句的基本概念
1.
定语从句
(
Attributive Clause
)
是一个具有完 整的主谓结构,
并在主句中担任定语的从句,
它通常置于所修饰的名词或代词之后。
2.
先行词(
Antecedent
)是指被定语从句所修饰的名词或代词 ,它通常位于定语从句之前。
例如:
Time and time again there are serious accidents that pollute the air.
Anyone who sees the lion is asked to telephone the zoo and the police.
注:
1.
先行词并不一定都是
“
词
”
,它除了由名词或代词充 当外,还可以由下列成分充当:
1
)一个短语
例如:
Many life’s problems which we
re solved by asking family members, friends or colleague are
beyond the capability of the extended family to resolve. (1995)
2
)一个分句
例如:
The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connection with the process of
thought, which took root in Europe long before people realized how diverse languages could be.
(2004)
3
)一个完整的句子
例如:
I was late for school this morning, which made my teacher very angry.
2.
如何确定先行词
要想正确找到先行词,
首先要理解定语从句 的意思,
然后根据从句的意思来找在其之前并能
与其构成逻辑语义联系的先行词。
例如:
For workers it can mean an end to the security, benefits and sense of ____that came from being
a loyal employee. (1997)
A. excitement
B. conviction
C. confidence
D. importance
3.
关系词(
relative word
)是指引导定语从句的连词。
关系词有关系代词
who, whom, whose, which
和
that
等;关系副词有
when, where, why< br>等。
关系词不仅在主句和分句间起连接作用,
而且还代表先行词在定语从句中担任一定的 句子成
分;
关系代词作主语、
宾语、
定语、
表语等,
关系副 词作状语。
关系代词或关系副词的选用,
取决于先行词的意义。先行词表人,则用
wh o
或
that
;表物则用
which
或
that
; 表时间则
用
when
;表地方则用
where
;表原因则用
why
(先行词只可用
reason
)。关系代词的格则
取决于它在从句中的 地位。
例如:
This is the book that my father bought me yesterday.
The time when he arrives is not known.
The fire also destroyed cars which belonged to people who worked in the building.
二)定语从句的种类及关系词的用法:
1.
限制性定语从句(
restrictive attributive clause
):
在限制性定语从句中,从句对先行词起限制作用,
二者关 系密切。
如果没有从句,
将会影响
全句的意义,因此从句和先行词之间通常不用逗号分 开。
1)
先行词表人时,关系词由关系代词
who
,
wh om
,
whose
,
that
担任:
(
1
)在从句中作主语用
who
或
that
(以
who
居多)
例如:
He had some friends who /that worked in the office there.
(
2
)作宾语用
whom
(需置于从句之首)
, who
,
that
或省略
例如:
The boy (whom/who/that) we saw yesterday was John’s brother.
(
3
)作定语用
whose
(需置于从 句之首,有时可用
of which
替换)
例如:
The couple whose photo I took at the party was very pleased with it.
He has a book whose cover (=the cover of which) is very beautiful.
注:
关系代词作介词宾语时可用
who/that
或省略,但介词 须置于从句之后。
例如
:
This is the girl (who/that) I told you of the other day.
书面语中多用
whom
,但介词可置于从句之前或之后。
例如:
The teacher from whom I learnt most /whom I learnt most from was Mrs. Zhu.
如介词与动词已组成短语动词,一般则须置于从句之后(与动词不分开)。
例如:
The machine which I have looked after for twenty years, is still working well.
Whose
也可置于介词之后作定语,介词须置于从句之前。
例如:
The boss in whose department Mr. King worked had heard about the accident.
2)
先行词表物时,
关系词由关系代词
which
或
that
担任,
在从句中作主语或宾语
(常省略)
。
例如:
He had many merchant ships which traded with other countries.
There are some jobs (that) men can’t do very well.
注:当关系代词
that
和which
在从句中作介词宾语时,用法有些不同。
which
作介词 宾语时,
介词即可置于从句之首
(
which
紧跟其后)
,
也可置于从句之末
(
which
置于从句之首),单一置于句首较为正式。
例如:
One subject to which country music often returns is “the good old days”.
如介词与动词已组成短语动词,一般则须置于从句之后(与动词不分开)。
例如:
Is this the watch which he was looking for
l That
作介词宾语时,介词只可置于从句之末。
例如
:
If it is a book on a
subject that you are interested in, you will want to “chew and digest
it”.
总之,只要介词置于从句之末,用
which/that
或省略均可。
例如:
That is the exhibition (which/that) you should go to.
3)
先行词表 时间时,关系词由关系副词
when
担任,在从句中作时间状语。
例如:
This was at a time when there was no radio, TV or cinema.
4)
先行词表地方时,关系词由关系副词
where
担任,在从句中作地点状语。
例如:
Today many of them live in special areas where they can continue their way of life.
5)
先行词表原因时(只有
reason
一 词),关系词由关系副词
why
担任,在从句中作原因状
语,先行词在句中常省略。< br>
例如:
I do not know (the reason) why they quarreled.
注:
l
关系副词
when
和
where
有时可用
“< br>介词+
which”
代替,
why
可用
for which
代替。
例如:
There are occasions when one must yield.
Beijing is the place where I was born.
Is
this the reason why he refused our offer
l
先行词虽然是时间或地点,但若在定语从句中作主语或宾语时,要用关系代词。
例如:
比较:
The factory where his father worked has closed.
The factory which/that was built
in 1978 has closed.
比较:
I’ll never forget the days when we lived together.
I’ll never forget the days (that) we
spent in Australia.
比较:
The reason (why) she was ill was that she had eaten bad meat.
The reason (that) he
gave for his absence was obviously fabricated.
2.
非限制性定语从句(
nonrestrictive attributive clause
):
在非限制性定语从句中,从句与
先行词关系比较松散,用逗号隔开。
1)
先行词表人时,关系词由关系代词
who
,
whom
,
wh ose
担任(
that
不能担任非限制性定
语从句的关系词):
(
1
)
在从句中作主语用
who
例如:
Martin Luther King, Jr., who won the Nobel Peace Prize in
1964, was an important political leader in the USA.
(
2
)作宾语用

(
3
)作定语用
whose
(需置于从句之首)
例如:
My brother, whose arms had been broken by the police, was not taken to the hospital.
注:
l
关系代词作介词宾语时,可用
whom
,介词须置于从句之首。
例如:
These papers belong to Bernard, with whom I am sharing a room.
l whom
常作
of
属格
的宾语。
例如:
About 2,000 people, many of whom were Europeans, worked on the project.
l
whose
也可置于介词之后作
of
属格宾语中的定语。
例如:
I decided to write about Chaplin,
one of whose films I had seen several years before.
2)
先行词表物时,
关系词由关系代词
whi ch
担任
(
that
不能担任非限制性定语从句的关系词)
,
在从句中作主语或宾语。
例如:

注:
关系代词

into the air.
3)
先 行词表时间时,关系词由关系副词
when
担任,在从句中作时间状语。
例如:
Agriculture first started about 10,000 years ago, when people began to grow crops in
the river valleys of the Nile in Egypt, in the Middle East and in India.
4)
先行词表地方时,关系词由关系副词
where
担任,在从句中作地点状语。
例如:

3.
判断是否由
that
来引导定语从句
1
)习惯上要用
that
引导的定语从句
(
1
)当先行词是指物的
all, little, few, much, any, anything, everything, nothing, none, the one
时,或先行词被
all, little, few, much, any, every, no
等修饰时。
例如:
All that can be done has been done.
He will tell you everything that he heard about it.
(< br>2
)先行词是序数词或最高级形容词时,或者先行词被序数词
(
包括
l ast, next)
、最高级形
容词及
the only, the very
等修饰时。
例如:
This is the first film that I have seen since I came here.
(
3
)先行词包括人和物时。
例如:
They often talk about the people and the things that they are interested in.
(
4
)当主句是以
who
或
which
开头的疑问句时,为了避免重复,多用
that
引导。
例如:
Which is the house that caught fire last night
Who is the lady that is playing the piano
2
)习惯上不用
that
引导的定语从句
(
1
)
在非限制性定语从句中,
不以能用
that
引导。
例如:
Yesterday I met Mary, who seemed
very excided.
(
2
)
直接在介词后作宾语时,
不能用
that
引导,
要用
who m, whose
或
which
,
且不能省略。
例如:
The house in which we live is not large. I know the young man with whom you live.
但
当介词放在从句的末尾时,可以用
that
替代
which, who
替代
whom
,也可以省略关系代词。
例如:
The house (which/that) we live in is not large.
I know the man (whom/who/that) you
live with.
(
3
)当先行词是指人的
all, any, few, one(s), anyone, everyone, those, people, he
等时,只能
用
who
。
例如:
None is blind as those who won't see.
Anyone who is over sixteen is allowed in.
(
4
)当先行词与关系代词之间有较复杂的短语或从句隔开时。
例如:
I was the only person in my office who was invited.
A new master will come tomorrow
who will teach you German.
4.
由
what
,
as
引导的定语从句
1
)
what
引导的定语从句
what
作为关 系代词时,
用法很特殊,
被看作是先行词和关系代词
的结合体。一般情况下被理解为< br>the things that
,
all that
或
something that
,在句中充当主语
或宾语等名词性 成分。它引导从句时,前面不应该再出现先行词。
例如:
For W
illiams, those activities became what he calls “electronic heroin”…
(
1< br>)
what
单独使用,
后不接名词,
表示物或人
例如:
She is not what she used to be.
One
difficulty is that almost all of what is called behavioral science continues to trace behavior to
states of mind, feelings, traits of character, human nature, and so on.
(
2002
)
(
2
)
wha t
后接名词
——“
所有的
……
,尽可能多的
……”
例如:
He claims to be an expert in astronomy, but in fact he is quite ignorant on the subject.
What little he knows about it is out of date and inaccurate. (1997)
2
)
关系代词
as
引导的定语从句
as
可引导限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句,
根本区别
在于
:
前者
as
只用在一些固定结构如
such/the same/as
修饰的先行词后面;
而后者没有结构
要求。
例如:
As can be seen from the comparison of these figures, the principle involves the active
participation of the patient in the modification of his condition. (1999)

performance depends upon the amount, reliability, and appropriateness of the information used
and on the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted.
5.
主语从 句中主句的谓语动词一般用第三人称单数形式,但
what
引导主语从句的主句谓
语动 词的形式须根据句子的意思来判断。
例如:
How he worked it out is still a secret.
What
they make in this factory are TV sets.
二)表语从句
在主句中担任表语的从句,叫做表语从句(
Predictive Clause
)。 表语从句可以由陈述分句、
疑问分句和名词定语分句担任,通常置于系动词之后。
例如:
My idea is that he can teach children English in this school.
The question is whether we
shall run out of food soon.
That is how Annie came to be with us.
A report consistently
brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous, and helpful most Americans were
to them. (1997)
表语从句中应注意:
1.
连接词
that
一般不能省 略,但当主句中含动词
do
的某种形式时,
that
可以省略。
例如:
What I want to do is (that) I can go up to him and thank him.
2.
当句子的主语是:
advice, demand, decision, desire, idea, insistence, instruction, order, plan,
proposal, recommendation, request, requirement, suggestion, wish
等名词时,
表语从句须用虚
拟语气,即:
should +do
。
例如:
My advice is that you should go to apologize to him.
三)宾语从句
在主句中担任宾语的从句,叫做宾语从句。宾语从句有三种,即直接宾 语从
句,形容词宾语从句和介词宾语从句。
1.
直接宾语从句 ,即在及物动词(双宾语动词)后作宾语;它可以由陈述分句、疑问分句、
名词定语分句和感叹分句担任 。
例如:
Do you remember all those years when scientists argued that smoking would kill us but
the doubters insisted that we didn't know for sure (2005)
Prof. Lee's book will show you how
what you have observed can be used in other contexts.
I thought (that) it was going to be
interesting, but in fact it wasn’t.
He wanted to see for himself what the problems
are.
Goodness! N
ow I see what you’re talking about.
Now, you know how important you are
to you family.
2.
形容词宾语从句,它可以由陈述分句、疑问分句担任。
例如:
I’m sorry that you are not happy yet in your new school.
I’m afraid (that) all these offices
are non-smoking offices.
I’m not sure
if she would be willing to meet us.
3.
介词宾语从句,它只能由疑问分词和名词定语分句担任。
例如:
I will give this dictionary to whoever wants to have it.
(
1992
)
We need to think about
how much we should charge our customers for using the phones.
They were astonished by
what they found.
宾语从句中须注意:
1
.
that
在口语中 常被省略,但在正式的文体中,不能省;并且它一般不能引导介词的宾语
从句,但可引导
exc ept, but, in
等少数介词的宾语从句。
例如:
I didn’t know (that) he was Li Lei.
I will do anything I can to help you except that I’m ill.
2
.
宾语从句之后带有补足语成分时,
一般 须用
it
作形式宾语,
把宾语从句放到句末,
即
“
动
词
+it
形式宾语
+
宾语补足语
+that
从句
”
,此时的
that
不能省。
例如:
The boy has made it clear that they can’t play with his toys.
You have all heard it
repeated that men of science work by means of induction and deduction, that by the help of
these operations, they, in a sort of sense, manage to extract from nature certain natural laws,
and that out of these, by some special skill of their own, they build up their theories. (1993)
3
.动词
advise, ask, demand, desire, insist(
坚决主张
), order, propose, request, suggest(
建议
)
等
代的宾语从句须用虚拟语气, 即:
(should) do
的形式。
例如:
He asked that we (should) get there before nine o’clock.
The teacher advised us that we
(should) not waste our time.
4
.宾语从句的时态与主句的时态须呼应。即:
1)
当主句谓 语动词的时态是现在时或将来时,
从句的谓语动词可用任何所需要的时态表示。
例如:
He always says that he is our good friend.
When the teacher knows what we have done,
he will say that we have done a good deed.
2)
当主句谓语动词的时态为过去时,
从句的谓语动词须用响应的过去时。
例如:
He didn’t
tell us he came from Shanghai.
He said he had read the book.
3)
但当从句的内容是客观真理或客观事实,而不受时间的限制时,即使主句谓语动词为过
去时,从句仍用一般现在时。
例如:
Chairman Mao said that all the imperialists are paper tigers.
When we were children, we
were told that China is in the east of the world.
四)同位语从句
1.
当 名词后面所接的从句表示与名词同位并为名词的实际内容时,这个从句就是同位语从
句(
App ositive Clause
)。我们通常所见的同位语从句往往由
that
引导, 而很少用
whether
,
if
以及连接代词或连接副词引导;
因为 我们补充名词的内容时多用陈述句,
而很少采用一般
疑问句或特殊疑问句。
例如:
The news that China has joined the WTO excites us all.
He told us the truth that he fell
down from his bike this afternoon.
同位语从句也可由
whether
,
if
以及连接代词或 连接副词
引导,但不常用。
例如:
There is no argument whether methodology refers to the concepts
peculiar to historical work in general or to the research techniques appropriate to the various
branches of historical inquiry. (1999)
2.
常用的同位语从句两大句型:
1
)名词
+that+
陈述句
例如:
There is a popular saying that family instability causes social instability.
He was
prepared to prove his theory that two different weights would fall to the ground at the same
time.
A century ago, Freud formulated his revolutionary theory that dreams were the
disguised shadows of our unconscious desires and fears. (2005)
Such behavior is regarded as
“all to human”, with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this
finely developed sense of grievance. (2005)
2
)名词
+
其它成分
+that+
陈述句
例如:
Evidence came up that specific speech sounds are recognized by babies as young as 6
months old.
Concerns were raised____ witnesses might be encouraged to exaggerate their
stories in court to ensure guilty verdicts.
(
A. what
B. when C. which
D. that
)
同位语中应注意:
1.
能带同位语从句的名词不多,
常见的有:
answer, belief, conclusion, decision, discovery, doubt,
explanation, fact, hope, idea, information, knowledge, law, message, news, opinion, order,
possibility, problem, promise, proof, proposal, question, report, risk, rumor, story, suggestion,
truth, theory, thought, wish, word
等。
例如:
He sent us a message that he won’t come next week.
There is no doubt that he is fit for
this job.
2.
表示
“
命令、
建议、
要求
” advice, demand, decision, desire, idea, insistence, instruction, order,
plan, proposal, recommendation, request, requirement, suggestion, wish
等名词的同位语,须
用虚拟语气。
例如:
He made clear his desire that he should work hard to go to college.
3.
同位语从句与定语从句的区别:
1)
定语从句是形容词从句,其作用相 当于一个形容词,是用来修饰前面的名词或代词的;
同位语从句是名词从句,其作用相当于一个名词,是 对前面的名词作进一步解释的。
例如:
We heard the news that he had told her.
We heard the news that he had won
the game.
2)
定语从句的引导词在从句中充当一定的成分 ,可作主语、宾语、状语等;而同位语从句
中的引导词在从句只起连接作用,不作任何句子成分。
例如:
A plane is a machine that can fly.
The fact that they didn't finish the work has to
be faced.
3)
引导定语从句的关联词在从句中作宾语或状语时,可以省略或被其他词 代替;
而同位语从句的引导词一般不能省略,更不能被代替。
例如:
The news that she heard is true.
The news that she will go abroad is true.
The
reason why he was chosen remains unknown.
The idea why he was chosen attracted our
attention.
